Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We can’t hold back on how absolutely delighted we are in choosing Wollaton House Day Nursery to help nurture our boy.
We originally chose another nursery at the time of being pregnant; a corporate, seduced by convenience. However very quickly after our 9-month-old started, we realised that we’d made
the wrong choice for many reasons.
Wollaton House Day Nursery was recommended to us by a friend and as soon as we spoke to the nursery manager we knew instantly that we had to get our boy a coveted place! It’s fair to say our boy adores his nursery family; as do we!
We drop him off knowing that he is shown love, his every need is taken care of and that his mind is stimulated by the activities and playtime - what more could we ask for?!
Delighted is an understatement. We have found the staff to be so supportive and really knowledgeable; truly lovely people. Therefore without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend the nursery and its incredible staff as a genuinely wholesome nursery environment.

My oldest daughter has been at this nursery 2.5 years and my second has been there since October ‘23, and I can honestly say it’s the best nursery I know of. I visited quite a few before applying for my firstborn, and I immediately knew Wollaton House was for us. We had an instant warm, family feel
about this place and it really has paid off.
I’ve seen huge development milestones in both our girls since being here and the team are just fabulous (also deserve more than medals), I’m certain they are part-time medical/out-of-hours doctors too!
Thank you to you all, your hard work never goes unnoticed.

Well, what can I say that hasn't been said before?! From the very first telephone call, where I explained the issues we were having with the previous nursery (lack of communication, lack of structure, abject chaos at times!), I felt that we were listened to and treated with respect and understanding.

Without a doubt, this is the setting that our son needed. A caring, compassionate, loving, and structured environment where 'family' is at the heart of teaching and learning. The children aren't only encouraged and steered into being self-sufficient inquisitive learners, but shown how to work as a team...a family...and look after each other.
The level of respect shown by the staff towards the children is mirrored by the kids as they skip into nursery...and are reluctant to leave with daddy/mummy at the end of the day as they're having so much fun.
The food is varied and delicious, it must be as I'm always hearing he's had seconds/ thirds!
I just wish I had more than 1000 word limit.

One of the best if not the best nursery in town. My child has learnt a wealth of information that is preparing him for school. The school is very nurturing and caters to the needs of your child. It has sensory provisions and supports the emotional and mental well-being of the child, not to mention the
educational aspect which is excellent. I would recommend it to any parent.

Review from J W (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The last four years at Wollaton House have been amazing for our son. We chose Wollaton House through a mixture of good reviews and the lovely family feel the nursery had when we looked around and haven't been disappointed at all. The care has been exceptional.


I initially chose the nursery on the

caregiving side as my son was only 1yr old when he started but I've been blown away by what he has been learning as he's progressed into the preschool room. His cognitive skills have increased as has his ability to focus hopefully making his transition to school in September a smooth one.


The staff are wonderful, they have been very kind and caring not only to my son (and now my two-year-old daughter who attends) but also to me as a mum offering me great advice and support.


Our son has made lots of friends here and made lots of good memories we will always remember.

Review from Matthew L (Father of Child) published on 4 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is probably a gross understatement to say that the manager and her team of dedicated staff understand preschool children. My daughter's progress - in all areas - since she joined in February 2022 has been remarkable: she is unquestionably more emotionally resilient; more empathetic with her peers
and adults alike; considerably more numerate and literate, able to count fluently, and identify letters and phonemes, and she is most importantly of all - again thanks to the manager's team - a happy, well-rounded, and kind child. I will, truly, be forever indebted to the nursery for laying the solid, built-to-last foundations and platform necessary to help my daughter realise her life's potential. Thank you. It therefore goes without saying that I would recommend Wollaton House Day Nursery to your child unreservedly.

Absolutely love this nursery and have done ever since my daughter started. The staff are all great and I'm quite sad that my little one is leaving to start school in September!
Her development and confidence has really grown, which has set her up for school.
I can’t recommend this nursery enough.
Thank
you to the team and everything you do for my little one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have wanted to write this review for a while now, but am always lost for words. This nursery is incredible and I simply cannot do it justice, my daughter has been there from being about 1 to leaving this year. The manager is an amazing manager and says it how it is and has helped me a lot, particularly
in the beginning when I was nervous to leave her. The staff there are fantastic and they always go that extra mile. Every event throughout the year is marked and full effort has been put in by the staff to educate the children and make it fun for them, always coming home with artwork and a great package of stuff she has made at Christmas, which I will treasure forever. I could not recommend this place enough and will be very sad when she leaves. A particular member of staff is always beaming on the door and another two have been fabulous this year, my daughter loves them and talks about them often. Thank you Wollaton House, the manager and all of your team, I will always remember what you have done.

My granddaughter joined this nursery in February 2022. She is leaving soon to start school in September.
I am overwhelmed by the care and attention given at this nursery. My granddaughter has made terrific progress both educationally and socially and settled in so well and so quickly. Her confidence
is much improved and she looks forward to going to nursery every day.
A huge thank you to all of the staff making a big difference in the lives of our little ones.

My 4-year old daughter moved to Wollaton House after her previous nursery closed down. They welcomed her and settled her in quickly. She has been there for 4 months now and has come on leaps and bounds with her writing and maths, ready for starting school in September. It is an excellent nursery, great
manager and long-term staff, lovely setting and strong emphasis on getting the children ready for school. We are so pleased our daughter has had these few months there and made new friends. We feel it was a blessing in disguise and would highly recommend this nursery to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined Wollaton House Day Nursery in February 2023. This was the best decision we made. All staff have shown love and care towards him, they have taken time to get to know him as an individual and have provided him with opportunities to flourish.
My son loves attending each day and has made
good friends with his peers. He has been given a range of experiences and opportunities to support and challenge his learning and feedback about the progress he has made has been excellent.
Communication from the team is fantastic and as parents we feel fully informed. If we have any questions they are always responded to quickly.
As a parent I cannot recommend this setting highly enough, they have welcomed us as a family and provided invaluable support. Our little boy will be leaving at the end of August with lots of happy memories and a bank of knowledge and skills that have prepared him for his next adventure in ‘big’ school.

Our second son is now at Wollaton House and has been at the nursery for 6 months. He has settled so well and our rapport with the Wollaton House staff is excellent. Our first son left to go to school last year and talks positively and very fondly to his brother, about his time and experiences at Wollaton.
The communication between the manager and us is so easy and effective and the team have all been great caring for our children. We wouldn't want our children anywhere else, our third son will hopefully be attending in due course too.
Hopefully, that says it all in terms of how much we trust the setting and appreciate them.
Thank you all.

Wonderful Nursery!
I feel confident that my one-year-old is safe and well cared for at this nursery. Staff are always very helpful and willing to answer any queries you may have to put your mind at ease. My little boy is happy being handed over in the morning and is cheerful when we pick him up. We
always get a summary of how his day has been or any key developments he has shown.
The manager is always providing useful updates, even local road work alerts that could affect your commute!
This place has a lovely homely and family feel which makes leaving him there so much easier. Would highly recommend.

From day one the nursery have welcomed my daughter with open arms. Their confident and professional yet caring and loving approach has brought her out of her shell! Placing equal importance on fun and play along with strong values, good behaviour and formal education, the nursery has enabled my daughter
to start school with confidence! The meals are well-varied and cultured, encouraging the children to try different flavours. We have felt that our daughter has been a part of a large family at Wollaton House and we will be forever grateful for the early years that she spent at the nursery!

At Wollaton House Day Nursery the staff are very kind and friendly. I feel safe and secure leaving my daughter at nursery and my daughter is always happy when I leave. Any problems or concerns, the manager has always been helpful. When my daughter started Wollaton House I was very upset and nervous,
but the manager was very comforting and ensured me I can contact the nursery anytime and as often as I like to make me feel at ease.
Wollaton House Day Nursery is always clean and tidy and I have no worries with hygiene. I have no faults to say and I highly recommend Wollaton House Day Nursery to any person considering a place for their child.

We have sent both our children to this nursery and have been highly impressed with the standard of care they received. A lot of thought and attention is put into the kids' development through the age ranges, with special attention being on prepping the kids for primary school. The staff are friendly
and approachable and more than happy to have a (very) quick chat about the kids at drop-off and pick-up time. Regular parent evenings keep you up to date with your child's progression through the key learning stages. You are kept up to date with the events and procedures surrounding the nursery and they try to involve the parents as much as possible. I think the fact both our children were more than happy to go there is probably the best endorsement we can give.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Wollaton House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.921 for Wollaton House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.921
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wollaton House Day Nursery is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
